"In Why Gather? Martha Tatarnic has given us a compelling picture of where God's signposts exist. Seen as they can only be seen in the context of our common life of Eucharist and prayer, the signposts of God's encounter with our need are a path of hope." --The Most Rev. Mark MacDonald, Archbishop, Anglican Church of Canada "In this powerful and insightful description of the church, Martha Tatarnic is both honest critic and appreciative jeweler. For those who love the church, and for those who don't but wish they did, this is the book to read." --Thomas G. Long, Professor Emeritus, Candler School of Theology, Emory University, and author of The Witness of Preaching.
